Well, friend, a glacier is actually a solid! It's made up of compacted snow and ice that moves very slowly over time. Isn't it fascinating how nature can create such beautiful and powerful formations? Just like painting, it's all about taking your time and letting things come together in their own unique way.
What else can I help you with?
Why is ice in a glacier concidered to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
well, you see, glacier ice or solid ice is a mineral because it is in a naturally solid form, and it is natural, not man-made whatsoever, and has a crystalline structure. Water on the otherhand is usually a liquid and has minerals in it; you can't freeze water and say it is a mineral-that would be man-made.
Why is ice in a glacier considered to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
Ice in a glacier is considered a mineral because it has a crystalline structure and forms through natural geological processes. Water from a glacier is not considered a mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure and is in a liquid state rather than a solid state.
Why is the ice in a glacier considered a mineral but the water in a river is not considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier meets the requirements for being a mineral, because it is natural, homogeneous, solid and crystalline, and has a definite chemical fomula. River water is liquid and therefore also not crystalline, so it is not a mineral. If and when the river water freezes into ice (naturally), that ice is a mineral.
Is glacier a solid?
A glacier is made up of ice, a solid, but the ice flows, melts, and recrystallizes regularly.
What is the change of state from liquid to a solid?
Solid --> Liquid = melting Other changes of state: Solid --> Gas = sublimation Gas --> Solid = deposition Liquid --> Solid = freezing/solidification Gas --> Liquid = condensation Liquid --> Gas = vaporization
Is glacier solid or gas?
mostly solid, but part liquid

Does water occur on earth as a solid?
Yes, water can occur in actually all three phases: gas, liquid, and solid. Solid water would be a glacier, ice, hail, etc.
Why is water ice considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier is solid and has a definite chemical structure and water does not because water is liquid.
Why is ice in a glacier consider to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
By definition a mineral must be solid. Ice is solid. Water is not.
Is onion a solid or liquid?

Is blue tack solid liquid or gas?

Is juice a solid liquid or gas?

Is wool a solid liquid or a gas?
Solid
